-50 error on itunes for MS Vista

I purchased songs from the music store but I have been unable to sync my library to my ipod. I have tried authorizing my computer and some of the other suggestions on the -50 forum, but with limited success. The funny thing is the I was able to transfer one song perfectly, until the -50 error showed up. What am I missing?
Please help.

iTunes cannot play FLAC or any other lossless format other than Apple Lossless or WAV. If your tracks are in FLAC or another format, you'll have to convert them with another utility to a format iTunes can support: AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, or Apple Lossless.
Regards.

Error message while trying to download Itunes for Windows Vista.plz help!

I've been trying to install itunes 9 on windows vista system. During the install, it says "error occurred during installation of assembly policy 8.0.microsoft.vc80.CRT, version 8.0.50727.403 type win 32 policy public key token=1fc8b3b901e18e3bprocess architecture=x86 Quicktime installs OK, but Itunes install is interruped -- Apple Support install portion is rolled back after this error pops up. I went thru suggested Apple troubleshooting options, got same error. Ran install as administrator from desktop, also did not work. Tried installing both thru apple software updater and directly from Apple website -- still get error. I am also having trouble downloading new updates for my computer, has anyoone exp this?? I am so frustrated, I have a new nano and can't use it

Interesting.
Okay, let's try some general principles troubleshooting with this one, then.
(1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
[Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
(2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

Adding new Visualizer(s) to iTunes for Windows (Vista/7 64-bit)

I was actually kinda curious, not really a technical question, but are there ways to add other visualizers into iTunes? I ask this in particular, as I have worked with Macs before, and I fell in love with the Jelly visualizer from 10.5, and would love to have that same one running on Windows Vista. Any suggestions as to where other visualizers can be obtained, or how to port one over from Mac to PC?

That version is quite old now, though its fine if you don't have a device that requires a newer version for syncing or want to use the latest features. Should you want to bring things up to date howver, and have problems updating, then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes for Windows Vista 64 bit

Is there any way to get iTunes to work on Windows Vista 64 bit? If not is Apple developing a version that will work in Windows Vista 64 bit?
Thanks,

For a chance I tried in this way and (strange but true) it works:
I installed Quick Time alone (the 7.3 release), then iTunes, and this time no problem at all at the start up of both the programs.
Finally I installed the gear software driver and no warning message appear in iTunes.
I enclose the iTunes diagnostic summary before and after the successful changing.

Error with iTunes in XP & Vista - Locked Disk

I was previously running XP, and have installed Vista on a different drive. I had the "Music" folder in Vista point to my "My Music" folder on my XP drive. But when I run iTunes in Vista (new iTunes installation), I get an error:
"The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder."
I can manually change/remove files on that disk and in the iTunes folder, and no files in the Music or iTunes folder are write-protected. I tried temporarily moving the "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library" files out of the iTunes folder, but that didn't work.
Help!

You need to change the Read/Write permissions on that folder/disk.
Start -> Help and Support and search for Permsissions.

Error upgrading iTunes for Windows 7, 64 bit

I am receiving the following error and I'm not sure what to do next. If someone can offer a solution or tell me how to remove the upgrade and go back to my previous version, I'd appreciate it!!
Error writing to file: c:\program files (x86)\itunes resources\pl.lproj\rentedmoviesplacard.nib\objects.xib. Veriufy that you have access to that directory.
Thanks! Lezlie

S'okay. Good to know about this now rather than later on down the track. I'll reply in two ways: first with some "big picture" advice about the disk damage, and then secondly with another technique for getting the iTunes install to go through (even though we can't get the disk damage fixed).
I am very concerned now because CHKDSK found 13 file sectors unreadable but freezes before it gets them fixed. My computer is only about 2 months old! I'm not sure what to do now.
(1) Okay, it's best to keep your data well backed up. I'd try another chkdsk every few days to check to see if the problem is evolving. If it looks like it's getting worse, send the PC in for warranty repair. Prior to doing that, be sure to deauthorise the PC for iTunes, because otherwise replacement of the hard drive may convince the PC it's a completely different one from the one you've got authorised, and you may end up with two different authorisations on the same PC.
(2) In the meantime, let's have another go at getting your iTunes installed. The problem here is that your iTunes is getting stuck trying to delete the damaged file/folder and replace it with a new one. So we'll try convincing it that the existing damaged files/folders don't exist ... that way it will creat a new one from scratch.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
Open the C drive.
Open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Open the "iTunes.Resources" folder.
Open the "pl.lproj" folder.
Rename the "rentedmoviesplacard.nib" folder "rentedmoviesplacard.nibOLD".
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Unable to install iTunes for Windows Vista

I recieved an apple ipod touch 32g for christmas and am unable to use it because I can not install iTunes.
I've tried following all the suggestion on other topics with similar problems.
Ive deleted Temp files and tried to install, Uninstalled all apple software from my computer and tried to reinstall. None of these worked.
I've also tried making a new user account and installing it there, and that hasn't worked either.
The error I am receiving is "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I also received the error when i attempted to uninstall Apple Software Updater when i was troubleshooting. I got a fatal error trying to repair it and then i restarted my computer and it wasn't on my installed programs list anymore.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I also received the error when i attempted to uninstall Apple Software Updater when i was troubleshooting. I got a fatal error trying to repair it and then i restarted my computer and it wasn't on my installed programs list anymore.
That suggests we've got trouble with the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi (and related installation configuration information) on your PC.
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any *Apple Software Update* entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

How to delete download errors in itunes for music?!

I have just installed the music i have on my new ipad2 and there are several songs that have not been downloaded because they are from different itunes accounts. I dont know the passwords to them so they are sitting under downloads wih the error massage- tap to download.
How do i delete them?! I dont want the songs so happy to get rid of them but just cant find how to delete them! It promots me to enter the password to the itunes accounts. Ive tried swippin the arrow but dont think that feature is on anymore.
Help!!
Thx

hi,
you aren't missing this. Show duplicates is NOT a tool to allow to simply select all and hit deleted. It is showing you the duplicates, one beside the other, to allow you to discriminate two songs having the same name but that may not be duplicate. For exemple, they may be two different version of a same song and that you want to keep them. For this reason, automated process are somehow risky to loose also song that you want to keep.
however, if you still want to proceed with an automated script, you can find some at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/.
Personnally, I would still discriminate duplicated songs manually by reviewing the list of "show duplicate" to avoid deletion of song I wish to keep. I also have a quite large library and found many songs having the same name and not being duplicates.

Error installing iTunes for Windows

While installing iTunes 7.2 for Windows(XP), I encountered the Error: 1921.Service iPod Service (iPod Service) could not be stopped.
I can not even uninstall the iTunes(4) that I already have on this computer, for the same reason.

that can happen sometimes if the itunes installer is having a hard time shutting down either itunes or quicktime (or applications using quicktime) prior to the install. so let's try a "download, restart, then install strategy."
leave your ipod unplugged.
download and save a copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (do not run the install on line, and do not start the install by clicking on the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file just yet.)
iTunes 7.1.1.5 Installer
shut down running applications and restart the PC.
do not open any other applications prior to attempting the iTunes install. switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.
does the install go through properly this time?

Error upgrade Itunes for Ipod

When I want to copy music files from my laptop to my IPod, I need to upgrade ITunes. When I want to upgrade ITunes I always get the error: Could not stop the IPod services (error 1603)
I already tried to delete my ITunes version, but the same error massage appears.
Can someone help me, cause right now I can't do anything with my IPod nano.
Thx!!!

+Could not stop the IPod services (error 1603)+
1603 is an odd error message number to get with that message (usually it's a 1921 for could not stop, and a 1920 for could not start).
Let's check to see if anything can stop the iPod service at the moment.
Right-click "My Computer, and Select "Manage". Expand "Services and Applications" and click "Services". Maximise the window so you can see what's going on in there.
Find the "iPod Service" entry, select it and click "Stop the Service" (up in the top left of the screen).
Does the Service stop? If so, does an itunes install go through with it "pre-stopped" like that?
If it doesn't stop, do you get an error message? If so, what does it say? (Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
